Eyeliner -Milani - Ultrafine Liquid Eye Liner

Great product. I like the Makeup Forever Aqua liners and these are a great, cheaper alternative. Love the turqouise color, and it stays on all day. I wore this all week in the heat in Mexico and it stayed on all day with no fading, running or smudging.

Eye Primer -Wet 'n' Wild - Fergie Take on the Day Eyeshadow Primer
rated 5 of 5
ptricia435 6/17/2013 4:02:00 PM

I love this primer. I purchased it on a whim, thinking I could use it for day to day wear and save my UDPP. I ended up loving it and I think it works better than UDPP. I have oily eyelids and my eyeshadow stays on all day, until I remove it with makeup remover. Great product! I hope this one is around for a long time.

Eyeliner -Laura Mercier - Black Violet kohl pencil
rated 4 of 5
ptricia435 6/1/2011 11:19:00 AM

I'm still searching for an eyeliner that is truly long wearing - this isn't it, but it is a good product. It doesn't last a whole day, even with primer, and she-laq. However, it lasts several hours so it works for an evening out. It applies easily and has great pigmentation, good color payoff with one swipe. The color is awesome - softer than black, and looks great on brown eyes.

Eyeliner -Make Up For Ever - Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Bronze Green 5L
rated 2 of 5

Disappointed in this eyeliner. I had high hopes after reading about it and seeing it on the Today show. I applied it in the morning with a primer, and within an hour it was smudging all over my eyelids. Not long wearing at all.

Lipstick -MAC - Go For It
rated 5 of 5
ptricia435 7/16/2010 10:42:00 PM

Love it! I ordered it online. Was a little scared about the purple but purple is my favorite color so I decided to try it. The color is very buildable, nice soft shimmery purple, or more dramatic with more coats. A different color and a nice change from all my other lipsticks. I liked it so much I ordered 2 more for when they stop selling it. Hoping they make it a regular color.

Self Tanners -Bliss Labs - A Tan For All Seasons
rated 5 of 5
ptricia435 4/16/2010 10:24:00 PM

I wanted to not love this product since it is even more expensive than the Clarins self tanner I love. I had a gift card for BlueMercury and decided to try it, and it is great. The color is awesome, not orange at all, and it lasts. I don't love the smell, or the price, but this is a great tanner that I will buy again and again. .

Toners -Bobbi Brown - SOOTHING FACE TONIC
rated 5 of 5
ptricia435 2/22/2010 3:56:00 PM

Fabulous. Love this product. I am not a toner user, but a makeup artist recommended this for my retin-a irritated skin. It was very soothing, and wiped away my dried skin from the retin a and the winter cold. It smells great too. Not sure I would use this every day because of the cost, but I will definitely keep it on hand from now on.

Eye Shadow -NARS - Rated R Duo
rated 2 of 5
ptricia435 2/22/2010 3:53:00 PM

Another NARS eyeshadow disappointment. I don't think I will be buying any more fo their shadows. I like to look for brighter colors for spring and summer and this looked beautiful in the pan. It looked great when first applied, though it went on sheer, but the pigment faded within an hour. Not worth the price at all. I guess I will continue looking for my new summer shadow.

Cleansers -LUSH - Ultrabland
rated 2 of 5
ptricia435 2/22/2010 3:50:00 PM

Works ok, but have to use a lot of the product to remove my eye makeup. I don't think there's anything special about it in comparison to other cold creams, and it is way overpriced.

Lipstick -MAC - Lavender Whip [Limited Edition]
rated 4 of 5
ptricia435 2/22/2010 3:39:00 PM

Love this lipstick, love! I wore it all summer last year with a tan, washes me out a little without a tan, but I will buy it again for this summer. I had to order from ebay, I hope MAC brings it back. I also got the Ever so rich gloss, did not care for the gloss as much but loved the Lavender Whip. Also I thought it made my teeth look whiter

Lipstick -MAC - Bubblegum
rated 4 of 5
ptricia435 2/22/2010 3:34:00 PM

Love the purple-pink color, it's pretty sheer so I have to use a few coats but it's a great every day kind of color. Love MAC lipsticks.

Eye Shadow -NARS - Tropic
rated 2 of 5
ptricia435 2/22/2010 3:27:00 PM

So disappointed. The color is beautiful in the pan, and when first applied, but it wears off after a couple hours, even with primer and shelaq. Waste of money.

Bronzers -MAC - Bronze Hero- Lustre Drops Style Warrior
rated 4 of 5
ptricia435 7/2/2009 6:19:00 PM

I like this bronzer. It looks very dark in the bottle, so I have been mixing it with my foundation. Works very well to match my skin which is slighty more tan in the summer, and now I don't have to switch foundations. The bottle is small but I only use a couple drops at a time, so it should last a long time.

Treatments -Pureology - Nanoworks
rated 2 of 5
ptricia435 6/27/2009 9:18:00 PM

Not worth the money. I've been wanting to try this for a while, and finally found it on sale at Ulta - still very expensive with the sale price. I've used it twice now and it's done nothing special for my hair. It works ok, but no different from any other cheaper conditioners or treatments I've tried. Definitely not worth the extremely high price.

Self Tanners -Clarins - Gelee Auto Bronzant Express - Self-Tanning Instant Gel
rated 5 of 5
ptricia435 6/15/2009 1:14:00 PM

I've tried a lot of self tanners and this is the best. The smell after applying is not great, but all self tanners have that odor. I get a lot of compliments on my tan when I use this. It's not orange at all, the color builds up gradually, and fades gradually. No blotches or spots when it's fading. Very expensive, but worth the price in my opinion.
